Slowly but Surely: A Journey of Strength and Purpose

Abstract

This artwork reflects my personal journey as a man searching for purpose and the true meaning of strength. Like the turtle, my path has not been fast, but it has been steady, guided by faith and perseverance. For a time, I believed that success was measured by achievements, wealth, and material possessions — and for some, that is a beautiful and meaningful path. However, as I walked (and crawled) through life’s challenges, I realized that for me, strength is not about how much we have, but how much we can endure, how much we can grow, and how much faith we hold on to when the road gets tough. Faith has been my compass, a quiet but powerful force that has kept me going. Along the way, I have come to value what truly matters: time with loved ones, good health, family, and peace of mind. These are the treasures I now seek and value.
